I drink Bacardi rocks w/ watered down limeaid, just found this at Christmas, brown but not spiced, smelled harsh, took a slow shot expecting throat burn and afterbite, aroma is very deceiving, this rum is smooth, very sippable, no afterburn, bacardi bathtub rum is fine as a mixer, this rum stands on it's own and I will gladly return for more, NJ pinelands rule !!!

This rum is very special. It amazed me because I never thought anything of it. I was introduced to it by Pedro the bar tender at a Montreal high end restaurant and since that moment we became instant comerads. So love because it brought me to meet someone from the brotherhood!

Pyrat XO is the most favourite rum of mine. Love the sweet taste!

Can't get enough of it

It's just a really good rum and it is my gold standard for a "mixing rum." Ice cold, with Coke, or in a mixed drink this rum works with anything, incorporates very well and accents its flavors when mixed. That's why it gets a 9. I keep my bottle in the freezer...its my go-to mixing rum.

I can't believe all the negative reviews. No, its not for most to drink on the rocks and drinking it neat is not going to work at all. This is NOT a sipper... But, this rum is the taste of the Caribbean in a bottle. It balances to the sweeter molasses and citrus/orange side of the spectrum but its still got a lot of bite to it. Spice is not the centerpiece of this rum. But, it is a fantastic alternative to all the spicier or flavorless aged mixing rums out there.

I first sampled Pyrat while on a cruise which stopped at St Thomas. The taste was an eye-opener because up to that moment I had not found an aged rum which maintained the sugar and molasses notes found in any good rum. Prat has become a regular in my liquor cabinet.
